Digital marketing agency in Derby

It's what we do

We help Derby businesses grow with strategic marketing

Derby is a major UK manufacturing and engineering hub — home to Rolls-Royce, a significant rail industry, and a growing service and retail economy serving one of the East Midlands’ largest cities. That scale and sector depth bring real opportunity, but also a competitive landscape that demands a genuinely strategic approach.

At Fenti, we build growth strategies designed around your business, your customers, and the realities of trading in a major regional city. As an award-winning digital marketing agency, we combine creativity, data insight, and technology to help brands stand out — whether you’re a Derby manufacturer, a city centre retailer, or a professional services firm serving the wider East Midlands.

Distance is never a barrier. We work with ambitious businesses across the UK, delivering the same quality of strategic support regardless of location.

More than a decade of results-driven marketing for businesses like yours

Supporting ambitious Derby businesses since 2010

For over a decade, we’ve worked alongside forward-thinking businesses across the UK who need more than a marketing agency. They need a strategic growth partner with the expertise to deliver real, measurable results.

We understand that a Derby engineering firm faces very different challenges to a city centre retailer or a healthcare provider — and that each needs a strategy built around their specific market.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing depends on the scope of services and your business size. At Fenti, we work on a monthly retainer giving you access to our full team — strategists, designers, developers, and paid media specialists — for one predictable cost. We work with businesses across Derby and Derbyshire, with retainers that scale to your needs and budget. A free marketing audit is always the best starting point before committing.
Yes — Derby has world-class manufacturing businesses in rail, aerospace, and advanced engineering, as well as a broader SME economy built around these anchor industries. B2B marketing for businesses in these sectors — reaching procurement teams, OEM partners, and commercial decision-makers — is an area of genuine expertise for us. We understand how these industries communicate and where their audiences look.
Yes — Derby and Nottingham compete for similar audiences across a range of sectors, and digital visibility is a real battleground. A well-structured SEO and paid strategy can position a Derby business prominently in search results in ways that compete directly with larger Nottingham-based rivals. We’ve helped businesses in comparable positions build strong regional digital presence consistently.
We operate as a fully integrated team under one retainer — strategy, creative, web, and paid media all working together on your account. We’ve been doing this since 2010, hold Google Partner certification, and have consistent 5-star reviews on Trustpilot and Google. We lead with strategy before recommending any channel, so every campaign connects back to your specific business goals rather than generic marketing activity.
Yes, and it’s more common than you might think. Many businesses come to us with an existing website, an in-house person managing social media, or campaigns already running with another supplier. We audit what’s in place, identify what’s working and what isn’t, and slot in where we add the most value — whether that’s taking over everything or strengthening specific areas.
We work with businesses of all sizes — from independents and growing SMEs to established regional and national brands. Our retainer model is designed to scale, which means focused, high-quality support is available at a level that works for a smaller business without the overhead of a large agency relationship. Helping businesses invest in marketing properly for the first time is something we do regularly.
It depends on the channel. Paid media (PPC and paid social) can generate traffic and enquiries within days of launching. SEO typically takes three to six months to build meaningful momentum, though we often see improvements in rankings and organic traffic within 60 to 90 days with a well-structured strategy. We set realistic expectations from the start and track results transparently.
Yes — helping businesses get found by local customers is central to what we do. Visibility in local search comes from a combination of factors: how your website is structured, how your business is represented across the web, and the quality and relevance of your content. We look at all of these as part of any strategy we build.
Our primary model is the monthly retainer, which gives Derby businesses consistent support and the best ongoing value. However, we do take on project-based work — particularly web builds, brand identity projects, and photography and video production. If you’re unsure which model suits your current needs, a free consultation is the best place to start.
Yes — Derby’s central UK location and strong industrial base makes it an excellent base for businesses with national ambitions. We build strategies that extend visibility and lead generation beyond Derbyshire, whether through broader SEO targeting, national paid campaigns, or content that positions your business as an authority in its sector.
